Sure has been a while since we saw the Lion King and his human lady pal hasn't it? Watched one of their broadcasts this week and shook my head... they're doing things so precisely and with caution that by the time it gets here it'll look like EQ1 does to a modern eye now.

Would love to see the day in a life of an EQ Next programmer... bet there's plenty of coffee/donuts involved and not much work considering the pace.

Tonight's highlight: Training a bear into a police station containing salty nerds.

Bears are dangerous, they pretty much one shot you if they get close. Managed to get one tailing me as I ran down the road to Pleasant Valley. Ran through the streets shouting for help on the mic, no response and no shots fired.

Saw the police station, just ran straight in where 3 guys were looking fairly motionless with AR15 rifles. Bear swiped me, died. It got 2 of them and the 3rd one ran out before it had time to maul him. You can chat while dead and they were literally roaring down the mic about it.

Game Update Notes 2/3/15 News
submitted 8 hours ago by SOE_Legion


Patch Notes:

*Bandages and First Aid Kits no longer heal vehicles when used from the trunk

*Reduced the amount of stacked ammo that can be found in the world. Finding a full magazine worth of ammo will be very rare.

*Adjusted the amount of durability lost on worn equipment when killed.

*Adjusted the amount of durability lost when firing weapons. Changed some input mapping data which may reset some edits done to InputProfile_user.xml if they player has edited them.

*Speculative fix for large latencies when players dismount vehicles.

*Fixed additional cases of poison gas persisting after leaving a Battle Royale match.

*Adjusted toxic gas damage. adjusted some server configurations to improve overall server performance.

Still playing, loving it.

Starting on random servers now just to check out peoples different bases/ camps.

PV Police station always a shit show tho, doesnt matter what server yer on.

got more value ouf of H1Z1 (at £15) than I ever did from a CoD game.

Giving H1Z1 a few days before skipping through Pleasant Valley/Cranberry again, need to get people starved of ammo a bit more.

Logged in after the patch last night and some guy unloaded 3 clips of pistol ammo to kill me with my shitty makeshift bow (I swear 1 more arrow would have got him) - after death told him he'd better start conserving his ammo better but he said he wasn't taking any chances.

Built a base on Birmingham (EU) last night near Cranberry, fucking shots fired everywhere in there every time I went in to scavenge...red as fuck [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

@Shrubwise - I'm basically resigned to the fact that until that glitch is fixed that I just camp out with my most valuables on me and just use the containers for storage while I'm out gathering - they're welcome to cooked rabbit meat if they want to spear my door down but they're not getting my ammo reserves/pistol/etc [You must be logged in to view images.

Tough for me to compare, given h1z1 is a lot different than the EQ type of MMO I usually play. I'd slot it third behind WISH and EQ in terms of just overall enjoyment.

Everyone will be starved at that point, wipe incoming. My guess is Monday overnight, even though that isn't this week.

#H1Z1 You can most likely expect a Character/World wipe sometime this week. Get those screenshots while you can!

Nice! I always support wiping! Got 2 bases all set up but didn't take long to do.

Looks like tomorrow after all. Happily, this also includes one character per server limit and being able to be Lemiddar on several servers if I so choose. Simple things, but they make me happy.
